Saga Collection '06 / Re: Battle of Naboo Wave

I was over at Yakface checking out Jayson's new pictures and when I saw this:
I was once again reminded of what Scott said a while back...
Sure looks like it - if they can make this guy (and pack him at 2x per case no less) then they have no excuses not to make ICMG.

I never ever ever want to hear the "pegwarmer" thing again regarding ICMG because if they make this dude, they can make anything

So basically, it is entirely possible that a "live" Chinese Democracy album could be released well before the studio version ever is?

The Hasbro QnA for JD from 9/22 has been posted.
- a possible fan poll for "greatest hits" repacks?
- what was the deal with those 2003/2003 bases?
- a whole EU wave next year?

Going to be a fun weekend for watching baseball! We've got 3 division races still on the line this weekend with 3 games left!
Also, it was really nice to see Radke take the mound last night! He seemed to pitch well, and barring any pain issues today/tomorrow, he should be ready to start game 3 of the playoffs.
What a bad time for a calf injury... Chances of a NY v. NY Subway Series just went down quite a bit.

Pedro done. All you delusional Mets fans can come back down to earth now.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 9 Waves Next Year
« on: September 29, 2006, 12:31 PM »
If we get 9 waves in 2007, I'm hoping for:
1x TPM (Senate/Coruscant or Pod Race)
1x AOTC (Tatooine or Geonosis Arena)
1x ROTS (already announced)
3x ANH (Yavin 4, Cantina, and Death Star)
1x ESB (Bespin)
2x ROTJ (Jabba's Palace and Death Star II)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Felucia Battle Pack(Maybe)
« on: September 29, 2006, 12:24 PM »
If this pans out, based on what Hasbro said in the Q&A about "Collector Oriented" Battle Packs, I'd guess it will resemble either the Skirmish Pack (4 figs and a small accessory) or the HFG or Mace packs (which have a leader, a new clone, and 3x grunts) like other folks have already mentioned in here.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30th Anniversary Wave 1 - Revenge of the Sith
« on: September 29, 2006, 12:19 PM »1 SBD per case but 2 Kenobis & Artoos WTF?
Obi and R2 as 2 per case. Messed. Up.
Why Kenobi 2? The SBD should be x 2!
Why are you guys so surprised that Obi-Wan and R2 are 2x per case? Have you not been paying attention to the last 10+ years of Hasbro case packs?
Why Kenobi and not SBD? Because that's how it works with Hasbro, main characters will almost always get packed at a higher ratio than the secondary characters. There is a much higher likelihood that Grandmas and Moms in the toy aisle to buy a gift for little Johnny will recognize Kenobi or R2-D2, but little chance they would recognize the Lava Miner.
In a perfect world for collectors, sure it'd be nice if they were only 1x per case to make room for more Army builders, but the case has to be a reflection of Collectors (2x Galactic Marine and 2x Airborne Trooper) and Kids (2x Kenobi and 2x R2).

Kubricks / Re: 400% Kubricks
« on: September 29, 2006, 10:03 AM »October 7th came early. I received an e-mail from RoBBy.jp that the 400% Vader are now available & will be shipping very soon.
I received the same email and Robby is indicating they are already in the warehouse
Me three!
Can't wait to add Vader... I'm thinking I'll have to convert Han and Luke to basic Stormies for a while to go with him on the shelf.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30th Anniversary Wave 1 - Revenge of the Sith
« on: September 27, 2006, 10:12 AM »Maybe I'm just misreading things (hey, it's early), but I wouldn't think the Vader/coin album would really have any effect on keeping anything else on or off the pegs. . .
I agree with Matt.
According to the Target folks I know, the 2007 basic figures have a whole separate DPCI number than Coin Album Vader does. That means they are on completely different order schedules and a surplus of one shouldn't keep the other from being ordered...
